Agree: confluent parakeratosis and absent granular layer are suggestive of acrodermattis enteropathica.

Yes, we called this nutritional deficiency. Very subtle but in some of the photographs focal epidermal pallor is evident. The patient had proprionic acidemia which can predispose to a nutritional deficiency related rash.
